Chapter 187 -187 The Trade of the Ocean Crystal!_1
St. Land Underground City.
The varying brightness of ordinary street lights illuminated one shop after another.
Many Transcendents had set up stalls that almost filled both sides of the road.
Even some Transcendents without stalls directly promoted their goods to other passersby Transcendents.
St. Land Black Market was not small.
But the number of Transcendents that had arrived during this period was indeed quite large.
So much so that the black market seemed a bit crowded, even becoming lively.
Dressed in a gray Second Rank Wizard’s Robe, with his face shrouded in a layer of shadowy mist, Tuck weaved through the streets.
Just as Tuck was about to turn the corner into an alleyway and head towards the Star Track Market from the back street.
A boy around fifteen or sixteen with a merchandise box hanging in front of him abruptly blocked Tuck’s path.
“Mr. Mage of the Second Rank, are you interested in some perfect-grade elite materials?”
Tuck was taken aback.
“Has the market for perfect-grade materials declined to the point of street-vendor sales?”
“Keep in mind, Barkin had just specifically received Transcendents purchasing elite materials not too long ago.”
Immediately after, Tuck looked at the Second Rank materials in front of the boy.
At first glance, Tuck could not help but let out a wry laugh.
“Gathering a large amount of clean attributes to the outer layer of the material, while concentrating the harmful attributes inside.”
“If one’s perceptual ability isn’t strong, they would really think these are top-tier materials.”
“Unfortunately… the structural framework of these Second Rank materials has been completely destroyed.”

“They can’t even sell for the price of basic Second Rank elite materials.”
“Furthermore…”
Tuck’s eyes slightly narrowed.
“This bunch isn’t just trying to scam people with materials!”
As the young boy blocked Tuck and conversed with him.
A Second Rank Thief had silently made his approach from behind Tuck.
Sheep Transformation!
Without even looking back, Tuck cast a Sheep Transformation spell.
The Second Rank Thief behind Tuck, who had tumbled out from his invisibility and landed on the ground.
Had already turned into a white woolly sheep from the Black Galan Plateau.
“Meh meh…”
The Thief-turned-sheep let out a frantic bleating.
This caused the passersby around them to take a brief sideways glance.
Tuck’s move evidently intimidated the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy before him.
He was so close, yet he hadn’t felt the spellcasting at all.
Moreover, the thief behind him was a formidable level 25 Thief, one of the main forces in the gang.
And yet, he was so easily detected and sheepified by the Second Rank Wizard before him.
The boy stepped back with a fearful expression.
Those who had survived in the black market without keen eyes had long since perished.
What remained were individuals like him, who possessed a certain level of awareness.
“I’ll count to three, and if you’re still within my line of sight, don’t blame me for turning you into a sheep as well!”
Tuck said with a hint of a smile on his lips, raising three fingers in front of the boy.
As Tuck finished speaking.
The boy, initially startled, promptly darted into the crowd and disappeared.
The boy’s movements were so swift that he collided with some Transcendents passing by, causing a wave of cursing to ensue.
Watching the boy flee in panic, Tuck shook his head and chuckled.
He casually took out a piece of rope and slipped it around the neck of the Second Rank Thief-turned-sheep.
Tuck proceeded to lead the sheep into the alleyway.
Normally, Tuck, who had come to handle some important matters, would not bother with such inconsequential petty thieves.
Though they caused outsiders to experience the anger of being cheated and thus gather a bloody yet true lesson.
But, on the whole, these were matters for the Sheriff and Law Enforcers to deal with.
But!
Tuck sensed from these fellows a very familiar aura.
It was, the deep-seated scent left behind by healing spells on their bodies.
Ordinary people would definitely not be able to sense it.
But.
Tuck was acutely aware of this.
After all, Tuck had meticulously experienced this healing spell himself.
It was the Dark Healing Spell of the dark priest “Taniru”.
The thief-sheep Tuck was leading,
As well as the boy who had just run away,
They both had a considerable amount of healing from Taniru’s dark witchcraft.
It was apparent that these scoundrels, who trick and deceive in the black market, had not been spared from beatings.
And Taniru’s spells clearly offered them no small measure of help.
Healing these fellows enabled them to endure more beatings.
Taniru, it seemed, had also found his way to survive in St. Land.
Tuck even thought this guy had fled long ago!
Now it seemed that he had not.
With Taniru’s character of dealing both in the light and the dark, testing the waters at the fringes of the Dark Sun Church,
Now that he remained in St. Land,
Then this fellow would have surely made connections with the local Dark Sun Church.
For the situation in St. Land, Tuck could understand through Hilor.
But for the Dark Sun Church, the Blood Race, and the werewolves, their situation,
Tuck was not so clear about.
However, Taniru had somehow managed to establish himself in the St. Land Black Market, which could be a prospect for further exploration.
“I have to say, Taniru is really a treasure,”
“His talent may not be high, but his methods and abilities are quite impressive.”
“He has even managed to gather a group of underlings in the black market, interesting!”
……
Half an hour later.
In the residential area behind the Star Track Market,
Tuck met with the Bishop Level Warrior of the Star Track Cult, “Gustav”, inside the castle built by the Magic Cottage during their last encounter.
Scrutinizing this Bishop Level Warrior he had not met often but who seemed quite amiable, Tuck started to explain slowly.
“Lord Gustav, I came this time hoping to complete the promised three months’ worth of elite materials and Leader-Level Material in one go,”
“and to get the Third Rank Semi-Lord’s Blue Whale Ocean Crystal in advance.”
When Tuck stated his purpose,
Gustav calmly turned his gaze to Tuck, and after a moment, he said slowly,
“Actually, there was no need for you to process them ahead of time.”
“After all… the elite materials sold within the Star Track Market also include your share.”
“You want your promised materials in advance, as a collaborator, you can fully discuss these things with me.”
“Even in the future, if you go to other places, I can use the channels of the Star Track Cult to complete resource matching and sales.”
“After all, in the Transcendent Realm of the Augus Twin Stars, our Star Track Cult still has many strongholds.”
Gustav’s explanation
made Tuck somewhat more aware of the situation.
The Star Track Cult, as a neutral organization, does not have those strict constraints.
And clearly, Archbishop Gustav had intentions of cultivating a relationship with Tuck, a refiner of exceptional talent.
More importantly, as a neutral organization, the Star Track Cult did not care about Tuck’s identity.
What they cared about was the benefits of collaborating with Tuck.
No one could bring more benefits to them than a top refiner like Tuck.
“Since that is the case, then thank you, Lord Gustav,”
Tuck stood up and said.
“However, to show my sincerity, I still think it’s better to process these materials first.”
“Because, for the next while, I might not come underground.”
Gustav’s eyebrows slightly raised.
“Are you going to advance?”
“Yes!”
“Do you need help?”
“No.” After a moment’s thought, Tuck shook his head.
Gustav scrutinized him for a moment before speaking.
“Since you insist on this, I won’t force you, and you are free to use the Alchemy Secret Room behind here for a while.”
“If there’s anything you need, you can tell me, and I will help you solve it.”
“Thank you, Lord Gustav!”
